Revealed: When Graham Potter is set to take charge of first Chelsea game after Fulham postponement

 


Chelsea announced the appointment of Potter as their new head coach on a five-year contract on Thursday after the Blues decided to sack Thomas Tuchel.


Potter, 47, took charge of Brighton in 2019 – having left Swansea – and led the Seagulls to a ninth-place finish last term, marking the best-ever top-flight finish in the club’s history, while this season they sit fourth after their first six games.


The Englishman started his managerial career in Sweden with Ostersunds, guiding them from the fourth tier to the top flight for the first time ever, and also led them into the Europa League after winning the Svenska Cupen.


Premier League bosses including Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers, Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl and Brentford’s Thomas Frank have all lauded Potter following his arrival at Stamford Bridge.


‘I think it’s that next step for him, going into that club where there’s a different pressure,’ Rodgers said.


‘He’s done fantastic at Brighton, a club that’s really grown and developed since coming into the Premier League and [is] really strategically well run behind the scenes.

"You would like to think Joao Felix would have had the composure in the box. Don't get me wrong, I've been in that situation and it is not easy," Henry said. "What was easy for me was to have the awareness that you need to cut across. That's the first thing that you learn as a centre forward. When defenders are chasing, I cut across. Slow or quick striker, it will give you that advantage of 1v1 or a red card. I've been in that situation, although I'd like to think I was composed i...

 I can't continue to play under Frank Lampard....his tactics yesterday was not what we wanted... Chelsea star blast manager after lost yesterday Video below 👇  Lampard will have been greeted with plenty of familiar faces during his first training session on Thursday afternoon and some could benefit more than others during his interim reign. But it remains to be seen if Kepa Arrizabalaga will be one of them. The Spanish shot-stopper has re-established himself as Chelsea's No.1 this season, but he lost his spot to Edouard Mendy during Lampard's tenure. And the Spaniard was also less than complimentary about Lampard's tactics back in the summer.
